Not Just Another Logo Brand Guide!
I’m often asked what is a great way to keep a brand consistent on designs. Well, to answer that question I always say it starts with a guide and a plan.
Most small businesses have to work with what they have when getting their business started. I know from experience, as I’m writing this right now I am in my third year running my business full time. However, I have a slight advantage in the branding and design area because that’s what I do for a living. Along, with experiences from my past agency jobs, I have a well-rounded view of what businesses need from their logo and branding assets to create any marketing pieces for their businesses.
That’s why when I created this Simple Brand Guide that I’m excited to share with the world today, I had the person behind the brand in mind! This guide I created not only helps organize the brand’s look but also comes with a resource sheet of terms and things to know that are not common for every business owner. Like what does logo variations mean and when to use a png file over a jpg file of your logo.

Also, before I created this guide I received feedback from business owners as to what they needed from this guide and resources to help them understand how to use their logo better. So I did just that and more by providing sample logo files and step by step tutorial on how to create your own Simple Brand Guide using Canva.
The great thing about having a Simple Brand Guide is that it allows you to make faster decisions on creating any visuals for your brand. It’s a one-page document where you can see your logo, color, text, and look and feel options all at once. This is especially useful when you have a website to keep consistent from page to page. Knowing what colors and fonts to use at any given moment helps to build for brand consistency beyond the logo as well.
Also, another benefit of having this Simple Brand Guide is the ability to communicate with any vendors or associates working with your business. They will have a guide on how to keep your marketing pieces on brand. Rather they are creating social media posts or signage they will know the correct colors and the brand’s look and feel to replicate. Which will save you time, money, and possibly some headaches from having to search for what they need that this Simple Brand Guide provides!
